GitHub PR Attention

A terminal inbox and report CLI for GitHub pull requests that need your attention.

pr-attention collects open pull requests where you are requested for review, assigned, mentioned, or the author. Use the TUI for hands-on review, or emit a text/JSON report for scripts, status checks, and daily planning.

Requirements

• Go 1.26+
• A GitHub token with access to the repositories you want to inspect

Usage

export GITHUB_TOKEN=...
go run ./cmd/pr-attention

GH_TOKEN is also accepted.

Report Mode

Use --format text when you want a quick inbox snapshot without opening the interactive TUI:

go run ./cmd/pr-attention --format text --limit 10

Use --format json when another tool should consume the review inbox:

go run ./cmd/pr-attention --format json

Build

make build

The build copies the self-contained pr-attention binary to ~/.local/bin. Override the install location with LOCAL_BIN=/path/to/bin make build.
